Preparation

Step 1

Coat a large skillet with cooking spray over medium-high heat; add chicken strips and cook, stirring frequently, until they are no longer pink and juices run clear; remove from skillet, set aside and keep warm. In the same skillet, cook onion, garlic, bell pepper and broccoli until tender-crisp. Return chicken to the pan. Add salsa and stir to coat; cook for 1 or 2 minutes. Season to taste with salt, pepper and ground red pepper, if using. Serve immediately.
